86 
ORDINARY MEETING, MARCH 1, 1869. 
The Rev. Walter Mitchell, M.A., Vice-President, in the 
Chair. 
The Minutes of the last Meeting were read and confirmed, and the 
Hon. Secretary announced the election of the following 
Associates, 2nd Class Rev. John Harvard, Sheffield ; S. Hill Smith, 
Esq., Sheffield ; George Race, Esq., Darlington. 
The Rev. Dr. Irons then read the continuation of his Paper as follows : 
ANALYSIS OF HUMAN RESPONSIBILITY. ( Part 
Second.) 
CONSPECTUS. 
IX. The Supreme Governor of conscious beings has Personality. 
(The opposite supposition involves a contradiction.) 
There is a correspondence of character in all moral beings ; 
(and therefore in the Moral Governor and those governed). 
There is reality demanded in all dealings between them. 
(Speculations concerning this reality do not disprove it.) 
Pantheistic and Humanitarian speculations, 
more apparently than truly antagonistic. 
The former cannot deny the “ true-always ” ; 
The latter cannot limit itself to the “ phenomenal.” 
“ Regulative-knowledge ” and “ anthropomorphism ” are nearly the 
same. 
Both these speculative philosophies are prevalent : 
Example of each in modern times. 
We must not accept premisses without the conclusions. 
We must examine the premisses. 
(§ 52 - 59 .)
